Pride is, as C.S. Lewis said, "the great sin."  So many problems stem from pride.  When we are trying to accept the person we are designed to become, we are vulnerable to pride. When we finally see how life is supposed to go and how our relationship with God is supposed to be, we are tempted to puff up our chest with pride.  

Over and over we are told that, as humans, we are designed to become more humble over time.  Our task is to comprehend enough of the human to God relationship that we have no other option but to be humble and serving.

Beyond humility, what else are we designed to become.  There are plenty of caricatures of Christians that we see in movies and TV ... surely we are not designed to be like that, right? Let's try on some terms and see how they sit with you:  loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and controlled.  Does anyone want to be like that ... yep!
